Is it a dialog-based application? If so then what you describe is normal behavior.

You have to use WinInet api's for posting data to a URL.
Here are the link that will help you to proceed :-

Hi,

I'm trying to use some of the functions I was using in an MFC application in a console application. I've created a console application with Visual Studio.Net 2003.

Looks like I am missing some header(s). however i cannot find out which. I have added and tried all the header files i can think of.

These are my include files:
//----------------------------------------
#pragma once

#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <winnt.h>
#include <CommCtrl.h>
#include <windef.h>
#include <PrSht.h>
#include <initguid.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <setupapi.h>
#include <devguid.h>
#include <regstr.h>

// my include files
// ...

#include "stdafx.h"

using namespace std;
//----------------------------------------

output:
*******************************************
... \Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\PlatformSDK\Include\SetupAPI.h(56) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before ...
... \Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\PlatformSDK\Include\CommCtrl.h(30) : error C2501: 'HRESULT' : missing storage-class or type specifiers
... \Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\PlatformSDK\Include\PrSht.h(97) : error C2065: 'CALLBACK' : undeclared identifier
... \Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\PlatformSDK\Include\PrSht.h(97) : error C2501: 'UINT' : missing storage-class or type specifiers
...
...
*******************************************
It looks so strange.
I will be very happy if someone can suggest a solution.

Thanks in advance

OMG | :OMG:

Using MFC in a console application ???? It is simply impossible to do that. MFC are (in majority) wrapper classes around the Win32 API thus it is purely a Win32 application.

i am using a win32 console project now.

Of course, that is a very common thing to do. Why would you think functions like lstrcpy(), ZeroMemory(), RegOpenKeyEx(), and CopyFile() would be limited to just GUI-based applications?

Mmmhh, yes for that I agree... But everything related to window management cannot be used in console application, am I right ? And so, a big part of the MFC cannot be used neither.
But ok, it doesn't mean that nothing can be used...

Correct.

I guess that depends on your definition of "big part." Here is a map of the MFC library that I use. I would not say that a "big part" of the classes were windows-specific. Of the 129 classes shown, about 94 of them can be used in console and GUI applications.

Notice anything pecular about your post? I'll give you a hint: we can't see the names of the header files. Either check the "Do not treat <'s as HTML tags" checkbox, or use the < and > located above the smileys.

That said, you might want to include windows.h before any of the others.

You will need a central server to do that

Hi,

How to make command UI fuctions like;
pCmdUI->SetText,
pCmdUI->Enable,
pCmdUI->SetCheck to work when we have a menu in dialog?

Currently it works for menus in SDI/MDI's but not in dialogs Confused | :confused:

Thanks Jose.

I also found a easy way to do this something as below,

// Get the popup menu which contains the "Lock" menu item.
CMenu* mmenu = GetMenu();
CMenu* submenu = mmenu->GetSubMenu(2);
submenu->CheckMenuItem(ID_LOCK, (m_bLock)?MF_CHECKED : MF_UNCHECKED | MF_BYCOMMAND);

Poke tongue | ;-P

Jose Lamas Rios14-Jul-05 4:10

Well, that's a different approach. It means that whenever (and wherever) you change m_bLock, you have to get to the menu item and change it.

The other approach goes the other way, whenever the menu needs to be shown (and only then), you get the chance to alter its state (enable, check, text, etc.). Besides, it's a general mechanism you can use for any menu item.

But I agree that, if that's the only menu item you need to change and if m_bLock is only changed in a single place, your method is simpler Smile | :)
